Common Course Numbering

What is Common Course Numbering (CCN)?

The Common Course Numbering (CCN) system provides a streamlined and consistent approach to course numbers and titles across California Community College systems. This system helps students transfer credits more easily by ensuring that similarly titled courses cover equivalent content and meet similar learning objectives. With CCN, students can enroll in courses that align with their educational goals without transfer issues.

Why do we need CCN?

The primary purpose of CCN is to create a student-friendly system for course registration and credit transfers. By standardizing course numbers and titles across California Community Colleges, CCN reduces confusion, supports academic planning, and enables smooth transitions between colleges and universities.

Does this benefit students?

The Common Course Numbering system provides several key benefits for students:

• Simplified Transfer Process: Courses with matching numbers and titles are automatically accepted for credit transfer between participating institutions.
• Reduced Redundancy: Students can avoid retaking similar courses, saving time and tuition costs.
• Clear Pathways: CCN clarifies course progression, supporting students in completing their degrees efficiently.
